The Billionaire's Contract Wife: Six Months To Leave Chapter 44
Joan's POV"State Security Service?" The words crashed into me."Yes, ma'am." I paused on the phone, staring at the receiver like it was a wrong call."Allow him in."I settled back into my chair, and curiosity filled me.A few moments later, the handle turned, and a middle-aged man stepped in.Tall, lanky, with curly hair. Dressed in a black suit. Though decent, he smelled something wrong, something not good for my health. He stepped into the room, with a kind of breeze blowing in from outside which I couldn't explain.He paused, looking around the room for a minute like he had forgotten something.I sat there in my chair, looking at him for a moment. Anger simmered inside me.He turned, and our eyes met.He adjusted his tie and cleared his throat."Ahem... excuse...""Miss... Joan..." He drew out my name like someone trying to remember it... for evil. He stretched out his hand which I didn't take. That sent a signal, and I was glad he quickly grasped that. “My name is Inspector M

Joan's POVI stepped into Brent's office. There, I saw him with Greg, his CSO, his most trusted bodyguard, the only man who could walk into his office at any time without making him feel threatened.Then I studied their body language. It dissolved like something had never happened. I knew it was because I had stepped into the room.I knew they were not ready to share anything secret with me. I watched Brent return to his seat. It was his way of allowing me either to give them space to finish their discussion or to discuss whatever I had come for and then give them space.Was this the reason he had been so lost and wasn't paying attention in the boardroom?I waited a bit longer and looked at Greg's face, he had slightly lowered his head, and his shoulders slumped. Then I turned to Brent, who had quickly unlocked his phone and was absentmindedly scrolling through it on his desk.I knew straight away that I wasn't needed in the room. It was the kind of room you walked into where people

Brent's POVI stepped out of the conference room. The air rushing out of it blew past me, like I was coming out of an oven. Maybe I was.I didn't have to look back as the door closed behind me. I knew everyone was staring at my back as I stepped through the door.I moved into my office. The small space I needed to check my face and dress myself properly was positioned at the corner of the big office room.I looked at my face in the mirror. For the first time, I could see and touch the tiredness written across my face, so obvious that one could use a knife to carve it. Green veins bulged out of my neck and forehead.Calm down... you are losing it, boy... that voice echoed in my brain.Losing it? Why wouldn't I? When I mistreated the girl who made my life feel settled after the woman I supposedly loved left. I didn't care about her feelings. I didn't care about the home we shared for almost six years. Without even notifying Orlena, Joan came back to live with us... not caring about ho

Brent's POVNo! This is not happening! Never! Why would Orlena be pregnant?Like it wasn't going to be real, maybe there was a mix-up somewhere… but the reality right before me was coming to fruition.The confirmation was here. The pregnancy result. Right on my phone.My brain throbbed so hard, trying to put the pieces together, like it was tearing itself from my skull.For the umpteenth time, I went to check the result on my phone. Maybe it would change somehow. But it didn't.How did this happen? How did I allow this to happen?Sending the mother of my child out there. Just because…I couldn't finish the thought in my brain. It was like thrusting a dagger in my heart, left there for it to spill out blood.Since Orlena had left, Eli hadn't been at peace, always asking,"Where is Mama Lena?"I had lied several times and twisted everything for him.I had told him Mama Lena had travelled and would soon be back.Kids, with their photographic memories, always asked me, and everyone else i

Brent's POV“I asked again, where the fuck have you been...?”Joan's voice erupted behind my back. The slapping of her slippers echoed across the floor as she hurried after me.She drifted quickly to stand in front of me, like an officer stopping someone in the middle of the night, demanding an ID and a driver's permit from a stolen vehicle. That was me at that point. “The same thing you did the other day,” she said, her voice tense. "When you left the conference meeting and disappeared into thin air... I called your phone several times, but you weren't picking up.”Her voice travelled fast through the room. No response. Nothing from me.What could I possibly say?I stood still in front of Joan as though she wasn't talking to me.“Are you cheating on me?” Joan cried out, her voice thinning. “Are you fucking cheating on me, Brent...?”Oh, God. I rolled my eyes.That was the last thing I wanted to hear from her.Then I forced my legs to move past her.She quickly grabbed my arm and p

Brent's POVMy breath caught in my throat immediately. My lips trembled."W... what... did... you... say?"I squeezed my brow, and then my lips parted as I blinked several times.Dr. Gran let out a gentle smile."Orlena is pregnant," he said calmly, nodding as though the news wasn't as shocking as it sounded. "She was here yesterday to pick up her father's corpse..."He stopped abruptly. My eyes fixated on his lips. How it moved rhythmically. "What do you mean by Orlena is pregnant?" I asked quickly, stepping closer to him as though his face held all the answers I had been searching for. "She had an ectopic pregnancy when she was younger, causing her to have blocked tubes, so the chances of Orlena carrying a child are… zero."The word zero crashed out of my lips, as an ape held long in its cage. My lips trembled like a leaf on the surface of a disturbed river. My tongue turned bitter. Sweat broke out on my head. Trickling down to my forehead, eye socket, and edge of my nostrils. "

Orlena’s POV. “Little gift?” The word parted my lips, “I think you're mixing it up somewhere.” I let out a hard smile. The sound came out brittle, like I was crushing a dry leaf under my foot. “Was I?” “Yeah,” I replied, nodding. At this time, the smile had dissolved into something I coul
The Billionaire's Contract Wife: Six Months To Leave Chapter 5
Orlena’s POVI had buried my father in my heart that morning, but painfully, the universe is asking me to stay and care for a child who wasn't mine and who would never be mine. Isn't that cruelty? The thought of that almost made me laugh. “Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia?” I muttered the words repe

Orlena's POV My phone suddenly rang the moment I stepped into the parking lot, my fingers tightening slightly around my bag as I slowed down. Brent and Joan were already heading toward my car, their steps unhurried like they had all the time in the world.I paused, glancing down at the screen.It

Orlena's POV He would snap at any moment now, I could feel it coming, and my hand tightened at my side as I stood there, watching him.“Why is this here?”He finally looked up at me, his brows pulled together as he held the paper in his hand.“How is this here? You realize how important this is?”
